“Painting from creative intuition rather than conscious reasoning is the way I do it. Through atmosphere and a little mystery, you may see curious mark-making and surprise use of color in landscape themes and objects. My inspiration is that my work will speak and you will find treasures, connections and surprises along the way.”
“Working primarily with oil on panel, Newman’s subjects appear exceedingly simple; a road going into the distance or a singular boat...however, what resonates is the painterly way Newman works, applying her oils to imply rather than mimic the landscape. There is a passionate and impulsive use of line and color in these works. Newman fully engages the viewer, yet even with all this energy her work maintains a harmonious ambiance.”
